Chapter 625: The Secret of the Pregnancy Test Report!

This cross-county arrest operation was reported to Municipal Party Secretary Zhou Chengwu in advance.

Having obtained the Municipal Party Secretary's approval, it was then reported to the City Bureau; therefore, the procedure for the operation is legitimate!

Otherwise, if Wan Ming were to cross counties and bring people to Shuangshui Town to make an arrest, he would be seized upon for his mistakes.

Zhou Chengwu is highly concerned about this matter because Du Chengfeng explained the specific situation to him.

Zhou Chengwu had long been dissatisfied with Shen Mingcheng; previously, when the Gu Lanping case broke, due to intervention from the provincial level, it was not possible to investigate further in order to ensure stability.

But not long ago, Shen Mingcheng designed a trap, detained Sun Hai, and employed despicable means of slander and rumor-mongering in an attempt to frame Sun Hai.

When this reached Zhou Chengwu's ears, he was quite furious.

With Zhou Chengwu's support, Tang Ye can now proceed with his plan...

Zhou Chengwu sat in the room, his eyes filled with complexity.

Clearly, investigating Shen Mingcheng is not a simple matter.

A County Party Secretary is a Provincial Managed Cadre, and Zhou Chengwu does not have the authority to directly dismiss Shen Mingcheng from his post.

But he possesses the right to make recommendations; if the request put forward is reasonable and fair, it will normally be valued and adopted!

Du Chengfeng poured a cup of tea for Zhou Chengwu and said softly, "Gao Xiaoqing has already been caught, and Tang Ye is participating in the interrogation; I believe there will be results soon."

Zhou Chengwu nodded slightly, "Shen Mingcheng originally planned to serve a full term in Suiyuan; I didn't expect that after only a year or so, he would cause so much trouble."

Du Chengfeng knew Zhou Chengwu's dilemma.

Suddenly taking down a Provincial Managed Cadre is difficult to explain to the provincial authorities.

"Secretary Zhou, when Shen Mingcheng entered Tianling, we were always providing him with opportunities to develop, but he did not grasp those opportunities; on the contrary, he did many things that were disappointing."

Zhou Chengwu looked at Du Chengfeng with a complex expression, "I heard he is a relative of yours?"

Du Chengfeng paused for a moment and told the truth, "Secretary, regardless of whether he is my relative or not, I believe that when one is an official, one must conduct oneself uprightly. Besides, he already divorced a few days ago, so our kinship has also ended."

"Divorced?" Zhou Chengwu was quite surprised.

Du Chengfeng then described the ins and outs of the matter to Zhou Chengwu.

"My wife's niece, Chen Lan, had been wanting a divorce ever since she learned that Shen Mingcheng was philandering outside. My sister-in-law became anxious and angry over this, suffering an acute cerebral hemorrhage; although she was rescued in time, she now has amnesia, and her intelligence level is equivalent to that of an eight-year-old child.

Chen Lan had originally intended to just make do with Shen Mingcheng, but she didn't expect to find evidence of him cheating again. The object of his infidelity is Gao Xiaoqing.

Gao Xiaoqing has a recording with Shen Mingcheng that clearly shows traces of them colluding and engaging in power-for-sex transactions."

"Oh? What kind of recording?"

Du Chengfeng mused to himself that a Municipal Party Secretary is also human, and all humans have a penchant for gossip.

He took out his phone and played one of the audio clips.

After listening, Zhou Chengwu asked softly, "Is this the only one?"

Du Chengfeng said, "There are five recordings in total. This is the most normal one."

The other recordings were all mixed with affairs between the man and woman.

Because it was audio, there was more room for imagination.

After listening, Zhou Chengwu was both shocked and angry, then sighed, "Shen Mingcheng's father, Shen Baoshan, has already retired from his position as a provincial leader to the People's Congress due to illness, but he has many students and former associates.

In particular, Shen Mingcheng's brother-in-law is He Haiyang, Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee, who has called me many times hoping I could give Shen Mingcheng some care.

Shen Mingcheng has made mistake after mistake; I need sufficiently solid evidence before I can give an account to those above!"

Du Chengfeng saw a kind of determination in Zhou Chengwu's tone.

This time, regarding the issue of Shen Mingcheng, Zhou Chengwu will no longer turn a blind eye.

The prerequisite is to find convincing evidence!

Tang Ye met Gao Xiaoqing in the Interrogation Room.

When Tang Ye was holding a post in Pinghu Town, he had met Gao Xiaoqing a few times.

His first impression was that this woman had great drive, spoke logically, and was very energetic in her work.

However, one can know a person's face but not their heart; he did not expect that Gao Xiaoqing would secretly be involved with Shen Mingcheng, acting in collusion.

Moreover, because of Chen Lan, Tang Ye felt quite disgusted by Gao Xiaoqing's behavior.

Before questioning, he tried hard to adjust his emotions.

During an interrogation, one must avoid bringing in personal emotions.

That would make the conclusion insufficiently objective.

Gao Xiaoqing recognized Tang Ye; although she had never spoken to him, she knew Tang Ye was the son-in-law of the former County Party Secretary.

"Comrade Gao Xiaoqing, hello, long time no see!"

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Gao Xiaoqing's mouth, and she said insincerely, "It's only been a year, and you've been promoted to Executive Deputy County Magistrate. Congratulations."

Tang Ye heard the sarcastic tone in Gao Xiaoqing's voice.

"A so-called promotion is just changing positions to serve the people. Of course, with a higher position, the salary also goes up. That is a good thing. It's just that I fear some people get promoted to satisfy their own selfish desires."

A cold look appeared on the corner of Gao Xiaoqing's mouth, "You don't need to point at the mulberry tree to curse the locust tree; if you have something to say, you can say it clearly!"

Tang Ye remarked with emotion, "I am just reminding you. We in politics should not view promotion as the only goal. What is more important is what we have done for the common people while in our positions."

Gao Xiaoqing laughed out loud, "You really are hypocritical enough. Just as the rumors say, do you think everyone is like you, having a good father-in-law to let you get so many political achievements?"

Tang Ye was slightly stunned; so this is how the outside world evaluates him now!

Every political achievement Tang Ye has striven for was earned by his own efforts; he has a clear conscience regarding this.

But in officialdom, many people will feel that you can get political achievements because you have a backer behind you.

Tang Ye smiled faintly, "We are not discussing my issues now, but yours. Regarding the process of your appointment as Town Mayor, we have already grasped sufficient evidence."

Gao Xiaoqing said disdainfully, "He is the County Party Secretary; is there a problem with me asking him to recommend me? As for those few recordings, they are all forged."

Tang Ye did not expect Gao Xiaoqing's rebuttal to be so sharp, and he sighed inwardly, "Proving whether or not you and Shen Mingcheng have a special relationship is actually not difficult."

Gao Xiaoqing angrily slapped the table, "Do not make false accusations! I can file a complaint against you."

Tang Ye sighed softly, "I advise you to abandon any wishful thinking; do not count on anyone outside helping you. Gu Lanping is the best example right in front of you. You need to consider clearly whether it is truly worth it to cover for him!"

Having said this, Tang Ye took out a sheet of paper and placed it in front of Gao Xiaoqing...

Gao Xiaoqing's face instantly turned deathly pale, her lips turned a deep purple, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably!

This document was her pregnancy blood test report from the hospital's gynecology department from not long ago!
